The US dollar’s strong appreciation in the international currency basket has placed significant pressure on gold prices. Moreover, a series of positive US economic data released at the beginning of the week has prompted investors to take profits, driving gold prices down sharply. Additionally, the sharp rise in US government bond yields has further reduced gold’s appeal today.
Currently, gold is trading around $2,741 per ounce, down 0.2% from the previous session. On the technical chart, gold is forming a downward price pattern and facing selling pressure at the $2,747 per ounce resistance level. In the short term, there is a high probability that gold prices will continue to adjust downward if no new supportive factors arise. However, with fundamental factors supporting a long-term increase in gold prices, there remains a realistic possibility that gold could break through current resistance and resume its upward trend.
Investors should closely monitor both technical and fundamental signals to make well-informed trading decisions.
